Apple Songs and Rhymes
Red Apple
A little red apple
Hung high in a tree
I looked up at it
And it looked down at me
"Come down, please" I called
And what do you suppose---
That little red apple
Dropped right on my nose!
Worms In The Apple Tree Tune Kookaburra
Look at all the worms in the apple tree,
Eating all the apples they do see,
CRUNCH, when they eat their lunch,
There will be no apples left for me.
Look at all the birdies, they do call,
Eating all the worms up, one and all,
SLURP, little birdies burp,
Guess there will be apples after all.
Apple Song Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider
Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground.
Down came the soft rain, falling all around.
Out came the big sun as bright as bright could be
And that little apple seed grew up to be an apple tree!!
Apple Crafts
- Apple Prints: Cut apple in half and remove seeds. Use as a stamp in red or green paint.
- Paper Mache Apples: Use an inflated balloon for the form. Dip newspaper strips in a wet mixture of flour and water and lay across the balloon entirely. Let dry. Paint and decorate as desired.
- Crabapple Rolling: Like marble painting, put paper on the bottom of a box. Dip apples in paint and drop in box. Tilt box to roll the apples and create tracks and designs.
